[AusNOG] So are iiNet condoning illegal piracy?

[Geordie Guy]

There are safe harbour provisions in Australia but they indemnify ISPs from
customer criminal behavior e.g. emails arranging a bank robbery, in the
same way the post office is indemnified from letters doing the same thing.
Piracy is not criminal here and the application of safe harbours to it
isn't relevant.
